noun

Thus in the field of tort, the traditional view is that claims in respect of torts to land, such as trespass and nuisance, can be brought only by an occupier with a property interest in the land (such as a lease), and not by a mere licensee.

The requirement of trespass places a civil law concept at the centre of the offence.

Perhaps you could give me a note, if that is appropriate, in due course, about the legislative history of trespass to Crown lands.
